W-T-B: Old Volume Pedal Pots

John Bechtel · Post by **John Bechtel** » 27 May 2004 11:08 pm

Do you have any scratchy AB 500K Audio-Taper Pots, from your Volume-Pedal, that have at least a 1” shaft, and you plan to throw away? If you send them to me, I will return (Double) Reg. 1st. Class Postage to you, for your time and trouble. I will accept about a total of 10 Used-Pots. Please notify me how many you wish to send, so that when I have about 10, I can ask for closure of this Post. Thanks, “Big John” www.jtshouse@webtv.net [This message was edited by John Bechtel on 28 May 2004 at 12:12 AM.]

I'm not saying another word, w/o the presence of my Lawyer!

I've seen this one before....

He's looking for "seeds" to start a pyramid scheme / chain letter that collects scratchy pots from us unwitting dupes.
Note the promise that we will get twice as many in return through registerd mail!

Call the police, bOb !!

Fellows, I think he's trying to grow a crop of volume pedals. Big John, don't forget to add Miracle Grow and remember, don't pick em until they're ripe or they won't have full travel. [This message was edited by Jerry Van Hoose on 28 May 2004 at 01:51 PM.]

Don't plant'em too deep or too close together! I did that once and didn't get any of those baby chicks to grow worth a darn!

He's serious, folks. Let's get this back on track.

Going up for another try, please! Still l©©king for some unwanted 500K AB or Clearostat Scratchy Audio-Taper, Volume-Pedal Pots, in otherwise good condition w/near 1” solid-shafts. Instead of throwing them away, mail them to me for [Double] 1st.-Class Postage-Return to the sender. Thanks, “Big John” Bechtel, 1508 Dickerson Pk., Lot H–18, Nashville, Tn. 37207–5022

John's lawyer called. He wants to know what he's up to.

I was speking to John last night and he has a very legitimate use for the pots. Instead of making jokes about a valid request, why not e-mail the man and maybe he will explain it to you.
